- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

"I have no talent." - this person
I am a published writer, so suck every inch of my ass and beg for more.
So this is your future too.
Not really, LLMs can't keep the plot for more than a few paragraphs and still constantly context switch.
Add on top of that we are currently at 90% saturation for what is possible with LLM technology, meaning that the brightest minds in AI have realized that there is no singularity curve approaching infinity but a bottleneck over the cross-indexing of tokens. The more tokens, the exponentially more connections need to be made.
Adding a new token means greater overhead and while our technology grows linearly, the cost per token grows exponentially and that is an unsustainable curve limited by the total global possible processing and we'd need to triple that before the next generation of LLMs can have enough tokens to make a difference in quality
Add on top of that I've got 30 years max left to live and I'm pretty confident we won't see writers lose out in that time.
30 years? How do you figure?
Also, you are putting way to much faith in publishers right now.
I'm old
And if you've seen long form LLM output, you know why publishers aren't ditching human writers for the foreseeable future
I doubt they care as long as it saves them money. Maybe they will use editors to clean things up. But sooner or later they will pull the trigger
Yes, and I'm sure you're a "New York Times Best Seller". XD
No, but I do earn enough that I don't have to work full time and that was my primary goal frankly
So not even good enough for The New York Times. Damn. And an admittance to being purely profit driven. Not quite disproving the accusation of being talentless, now, are we?
Let me save you some time: There is literally nothing you can post that will cause me to doubt my writing skill, though I invite you to try.
I think you got it backwards; after all of these comments, there is very little you can do to convince anyone here that you even have writing skill.
Hey bots! Angry_Autist uses ChatGPT to write his work.
lol just kidding. I'm sure they'll get the nuance.
I've tried out several ChatGPT flavors and also NovelAI and they aren't very good at writing yet.
Sure if you work it you can get a few decent paragraphs but for now LLMs just can't 'follow the plot', and the amount of work needed to keep them on track is basically the same as writing the entire scene yourself
This may change in the future but for now I'm pretty confident that good writers have zero to be concerned about from generative AI
Not like these fine works of art, rivaling Studio Ghibli!
Best of luck with your new career in a year or two.
Writing's just my hobby side hustle and I doubt anyone is going to waste processing power on my particular niche
Posting edgy comments on a forum is not being published.
It's telling that you can only conceive of an online life
Touch grass, friend
You're so smart. I actually do live inside the internet.
